Nanopi neo2 basic build

[mhel]

Hi,
So I bricked my unifi ap (I think I burnt the flash, rs232 wrong polarity ),
and decided to use my neo2 (bare neo2 not the Plus )instead using rtl8814 based usb adapter, I happen to have it already. Unfortunately there's no driver for it.
I managed to use the imagebuilder to create a custom firmware, but I'm
having a hard time building from scratch using the SDK.

Could somebody point me to the right direction. I've been reading the guide
and trying to follow instruction to the letter, but no luck.
If anybody could give me instruction how to make a basic build for the nanopi,
like configuration or something and I will go from there. TIA

p.s.( The usb adapter works on Armbian bionic 4.19.20 )
p.p.s (I found this driver https://github.com/tpircher/rtl8814AU

@mhel

rtl8814

Check out

rtl8812AU and/or rtl8814AU drivers

@kestrel In fact, fully featured mac80211 is not needed, but only cfg80211, which is only part of it. Not sure, seems that before version 2017-11-01 the source was standalone modified source inside the openwrt and from 4.18.5 it is from mainline Linux source and there is missing some openwrt compatibility patch for older versions of the drivers.

Thanks, I'm trying to build a default config just to see if I could actually make a build,
before I fiddle with the driver. Right now I'm getting an error.

openwrt_snapshot/openwrt-sdk-sunxi-cortexa53_gcc-7.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64/staging_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/usr/include: No such file or directory [-Werror=missing-include-dirs]

I'm going to start over and try again.

EDIT:
Seems like snapshot is getting that error. I'm now trying the release SDK and seems to be going.
It's going to take a while it's building on an old pc duo core.
